My pre–New Year weekend was spent at home

I got out of bed at 10 a.m., although I actually woke up around 9. I had gone to bed only at 2 a.m., maybe even later, so in the morning I felt a bit weak and didn’t really want to get up. I stayed in bed for a while, scrolling through Reddit and listening to someone speaking loudly in another room. I also reread my post from yesterday, reviewed my blog, and planned some changes. I want to implement these updates during the New Year holidays and fix a few bugs in the mobile version. In general, I spent the morning — or rather the first part of the day — in bed, then did my morning routine and had lunch. It was a simple, quiet, and even slightly cozy start to the day, a bit unusual for me.

Today I spent the whole day at home, so I shared a photo from yesterday. In the photo, I noticed that the tall building has interesting photos on the windows. The coordinates of my place on Google Maps are 55.79374053300578, 49.17097996494249

During the day, I stayed at home and spent almost all my time in front of my laptop. I didn’t have many activities, which gave me an opportunity to rest a little. First, I decided to finish some freelance projects before the end of the year because I had a few small overdue tasks. I originally thought about moving them to next year, but I received a message saying I needed to complete them by December 29.

After that, I watched YouTube videos and didn’t do much else. On YouTube, I discovered another farm family channel, but I couldn’t figure out which country they were from. Even the channel description didn’t provide any additional information.

Towards the evening, I started to feel a headache and some stomach discomfort. Fortunately, my stomach felt better after a while, but the headache persisted. As a result, I decided to take some paracetamol and lie down for about 30 minutes. After just a few minutes, I felt much more comfortable and the headache disappeared. I think it happened because dinner was quite fatty, especially the soup.

My pre New Year weekend I spent at home

I got up from my bed at 10 AM, but I woke up around 9 AM. However I went to the bed only at 2AM, maybe even later. So at morning time I felt a bit weakness and didn't want to got up. I just keep lying on my bed and watched some posts in Reddit and listened how someone spoke loudly in another room. Also I reread my post from yesterday, examined my blog and planned some changes. I want to add changes during the New Year holidays and fix some bugs for mobile version. Generally I spent my morning or first part of day on the bad, did my morning routine and having lunch. It was simple, quite, maybe even a bit cozy and unusual starting of day.

During the day I stayed at home and spent all day behind of laptop. So I had just a few activities and an opportunity a bit to rest. First I decided to finish some freelance projects for this year. Because I had some small expired works. And I thought move them to next year. But I got message about I need to complete it until december 29. After I watched youtube videos and nothing else. In youtube I found another farm family. But I couldn't realize what country was it. And in the channel description I also couldn't find extra information.

Closer to the evening I started felt headache and a bit stomach hurt. Fortunately I had no problems with stomach after some times, but headache continued provided the pain. Therefore I decided took paracetamol and lied down approximately 30 minutes. Actually after few minutes everything was more comfortable and I didn't feel headache. I think it happened because the dinner was significantly fatty especially the soup.

General feedback
Strengths
- The story is logical and chronological.
- Vocabulary is good and varied.
- You express feelings and reflections, not just actions — that’s very good for advanced English.

Main issues to work on
1) Verb forms & tense consistency
- Mixing past simple, present simple, and incorrect infinitives.
2) Prepositions
- Very common mistakes: on the bed / in the bed, behind the laptop, at morning time.
3) Word choice
- Some phrases are understandable but not natural.
4) Sentence structure
- Some sentences are too long or slightly confusing.

This is B1 → B2 level, and with small corrections it can sound quite advanced.

Specific corrections & explanations
I’ll correct some key mistakes and explain briefly.
1) I got up from my bed → I got out of bed
2) I went to the bed only at 2 AM → I went to bed only at 2 AM
3) at morning time → in the morning
4) felt a bit weakness → felt a bit weak / felt some weakness
5) didn't want to got up → didn't want to get up
6) I just keep lying → I just kept lying
7) watched some posts in Reddit → scrolled through some posts on Reddit
8) behind of laptop → in front of my laptop
9) I decided took paracetamol → I decided to take paracetamol

These are very typical mistakes, so don’t worry — you’re learning exactly the right things.
